PHILIPS42406C1 D4R Standard Xenon HID Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack

These are really nice and bright and white We can see a lot better now even though the headlight lenses are foggy needing to be buffed and polished.One bulb was intermittently going dim and off while still being fully illuminated most of the time.I replaced both bulbs as suggested and I was extremely pleased that I did, the difference was like dark of night and daylight sharp and bright and we could see far and clear.These bulbs are manufactured by the inventors the High Intensity Discharge Xenon bulb PHILIPS are the best money can buy and these prove it.If you need a new HID bulb buy a pair of these, they’re the best you can get in every way.

I bought 2 of the D4R bulbs here at Amazon. My wife's 07 Prius had the original 9 year old HID bulbs in them and for the last 2 years the front right bulb would go off all the time requiring her to turn the lights off and on to get it to come back on. So I figured it was time for me to tackle this. The dealer wanted nearly 500 dollars for bulbs and labor to change them. I got these for less than 100 delivered and decided to try and do it myself. After viewing many youtube videos just to get an idea of how things were taken apart I decided to go at it. Most of these videos had so much camera shaking and cameras pointed at things other than the actual work being done that I had to end up inventing my own method of changing them. But like I said the videos showed the basics. I started with the passenger side bulb and it took me a couple of hours. I then went to the drivers side and that took another hour. I did manage to get both of them changed and everything works great now. I will tell you that although the task may seem impossible, once you actually do it you realize it was not that hard and that if I had to do it again I could probably do it in less than an hour total as opposed to the 3 or 4 hours it took me. Saved a lot of money here. Thanks Amazon for fair pricing on authentic bulbs.

Great bulbs, but with these tips you should have an easier time that I did!1) Go to YouTube and watch both videos by jnet1 (How to change your Prius HID bulb in 10 minutes (Part 1 & 2) and Brian Mathis (How to install a Prius Headlight and How to Remove a Prius Headlight). The reason for watching both is because one gives tips for drivers side and the other gives tips for passenger side, which ARE DIFFERENT based on the surrounding components around them.2) Use a thin flathead screwdriver to wedge in between the seal on the black dome and wiggle it a bit in several places. This will help the break any sort of "gunk seal" that would otherwise prevent you from removing this part of the unit. I struggled with this for over an hour and I'm a strong handed adult male who couldn't get these to budge without doing this. Just be sure to it gently, you don't want to break anything.3) Forget clockwise and counter clockwise, just turn the dome toward the drivers side the unlock, toward the passenger side to lock. Much easier to remember and much harder to overthink.4) Once you get the dome cover off and start to remove the next part I recommend that from here on out, every step simply do and undo with the existing part to get a FEEL for how it's supposed to go. Since the space is somewhat cramped its great practice and I was able to use this method (in addition to watching the videos) without the use of a flashlight or mirror. This is especially useful when it comes to the metal clips.5) Take note of how the bulb sits in the housing when you pull it out, you will then know exactly what position to put the replacement in!If it seems hard and you're running into a roadblock, just step away for a few minutes, watch the videos again and keep trying. I now laugh at watching people remove the bumper and so on knowing that it can be down much easier and much faster.Good Luck!

ONLY ORIGINAL! IT IS WARM WHITE. - Natural light which do not blind everybody like LEDs.Works best in a hid lense reflectors.But ULTRA OVERPRICED! ARE FKN MIND? 66 USD? FOR 1PCS???At least you won't regret your money

My old headlamps were constantly being replaced by various repair shops and dealers, then burning out after about a year or so, every time right after the warranty is up. I went through several set (not kidding, like 4 or 5 set in 7 years), which was crazy-making until I finally got fed up and started googling about it (looking for recall program, thinking maybe I had a bad ballast or bad hardware controller board, bad electrical grounding, bad water sealing, etc.)After extensive research I discovered the short life of the previous bulbs was due to a flood of uncontrolled counterfeit lamps in the market. Yes, there are regular counterfeits of this product on the street, reaching dealers and repair shops, despite their mark-up compared to simply buying online. If you've gone through a few of these and have had enough, I suggest you google how to examine any new lamps, and especially your old dead lamps, looking for counterfeits (just be careful not to touch the glass with your fingers, supposedly the oils from your fingers will cause the glass to overheat when the lamps are lit, causing premature failure as well...)These were fairly priced and (the ones I bought here, specifically selecting supplier as Amazon) are not counterfeit. I bought them, compared with the photos and videos about how to detect counterfeits, and they're legit.Then I found a repair shop that would install the bulbs for labor-only cost, which saved like ~$100 or so compared to having them buy their own lamps. That was just a minor plus, compared to eliminating the regularly failing counterfeits.I asked the shop to provide my old lamps when they were done, which I also examined, and yes, exactly as suspected, my old lamps were counterfeits. Gah!Anyhow, the new, legit lamps have been burning bright for years, no new ballast or new controller board needed. Just no more failed lamps.
